Any tea against Jason is good tea, since I despise him as a human and artist, but I need Earl Grey and not the $1 Lipton Liter from the corner store.

Perhaps she needs to spill all the tea and get that out in the open so she can heal and move forward then have her proper comeback.

alot of Jordin fans i am sure wanted to know what she felt of Jason breaking up with her like he did over the phone . he has already said his next album like his recent one will be inspired by her.

I'm genuinely afraid to listen to this now, so um, I won't, I guess. If it really is cheesy/boring/otherwise crap (and the bit of lyrics that I am seeing tell me it probably is), then I'd rather she get this out of her system by way of a mixtape than actually try to sell it to people, but the entire point of mixtapes is to (re)generate interest and build momentum where there is none. But hey, your material can only be as inspired as the person it was inspired from. So wack begets wack?
I just wish she knew how to pick music! For every Battlefield or The Way there's an I Am Woman or Who Says that throws everything off. Why does she not know how to distinguish the diamonds from the lumps of coal? :(

Maybe it's just me but Elijah Blake got her all the way together vocally and is slaying the backgrounds...Jordin sounds great and at this point what does she have to lose? Nothing to be honest lol, this is just what she needs

Why does she not know how to distinguish the diamonds from the lumps of coal? :( People often say where Jordin went wrong was how she was marketed, but I think what you pointed out is what it really boils down to. Yeah, she doesn't have as much personality as, say, Rihanna, but if she had kept releasing hot shit, rather than a steaming pile of shit ("I Am Woman"), she'd still have a chance. Even a song like "The Way" could have put her back on the map, but we all know how that turned out. If she could just get an A&R person or something that knows what they're doing to say, "NO! THIS IS CRAP!" and get her a hot comeback track, we might have something to work with. It's gonna be an uphill battle for her either way, in terms of radio success, but she's not doing herself any favors right now.

She came for Jason's neck. I was waiting on her to say "remember how I had to wipe your ass for ya..."

It's actually not the train wreck I thought it was going to be, but the lyrics for the songs are awful.

OMG I am in love. I love how she was like I couldn't say the stuff Ty Dolla $ign wanted me to say but then says it anyway. That song trashing Jason is EVERYTHING. All these songs will be on the album? Can't wait.

I refuse to believe that her A&R believes this is the material that will sell records for her.

STRONG Right Here, Right Now - The best. Works from the first listen. Work From Home - Single material IMO. Left, Right - I love the flow and the rhythm. 11:11 - More tracks like this wouldn't hurt. They Don't Give - If they want to give her a more R&B song, this is good enough...sounds very late 90's. How About Now (remix) - I'm here for it. :)
WEAK Double Tap - It's cute. But it doesn't pack a punch. It Ain't You - It would be decent if the lyrics were changed. Gasoline - This is the weakest, I'm not here for it.
Jordin has a great voice and she's no longer a teenager, so it's interesting to see what musical direction she's going into as a young adult. 5 years has been too long. This mixtape is a mixed bag because while it does showcase her vocals, but the hip-hop influenced tracks are weak lyrically and they aren't believable. The ratchetness doesn't work for her, it's not her thing. Her vocals are on point though and I can see her working with the same producers that work with Drake, Jhene Aiko, and Alicia Keys. Less hip-hop, more R&B.

Surprising and more than occasionally silly, granted, Jordin is giving me anthems in "Double Tap" (that #ho!) and and you wonder why it ain't YOU! Ohhhh-ohhhhhhhhhhhh. But in the latter, is she singing "you already done flop, why breathe?" Because that's evil.

I actually like that and don't mind the lyrics.
I think she will need to change her image to pull this off though, she still looks a little too Apple Pie.
